I bought this skirt in large from Zara in December & it never fit. It now fits w/ease

Can fit into these other pants I bought and could never fit into

and can squeeze back into a pair of pants

I got this new white peplum top that I'd love to get altered but I still plan on loosing weight so I guess that'd be useless.

So I think I'm a 32 now in pants [I stopped buying real pants when I got super big and resorted to jeggings/sweats & mre's shorts]. I used to be a 30 but I do remember when I was a 28.

Anyway I say this because the scale hasn't moved in the past 2 weeks at all really--but I kept working out and watching what I ate regardless--and my clothing fit different. So don't get discouraged ladies!!!! There are good days & bad days but we have to keep at it----even if not for vanity but for our health.

1) Have you had your thyroid checked?Yes. I've had a complete blood work done and got the results last week. Thyroid is fine, no longer anemic. The major thing that showed up was potassium deficiency, probably brought on by a high blood pressure medication that I was taking. I'm in the process of switching.She had a test done (can't remember what exactly that showed intense muscular activity the week I had my blood drawn actually, which is consistent with the exercise regimen I've been on.

2) Are you regular?Somewhat. I could increase my fiber consumption

3) Can your meds be titrated down? Are you following regularly with a MD so that you can be on the lowest therapeutic doses?I'm working on the blood pressure component right now (these types of med are a problem with weight loss). There's other stuff I'm taking that I cannot lower any further. I was always aware that my weight loss would be harder because of those.

Anyway I'm back on it today. I won't give up. I just have to keep in mind that my weight loss might be slower than average and hang in there.

[QUOTE=ThatGurlD] JP, how'd it go with the trainer? I always hear about muscle confusion. You're supposed to switch it up every 6 weeks right[QUOTE]

One measly pound. That's all I lost. Blood, sweat and tears for 2 weeks for 1 measly pound. I am so discouraged I cried yesterday :( Trainer said it's harder for me to lose because of the medications I'm taking and age.I see her every 2 weeks and she adjusts my workout. Sometimes it's subtle changes, sometimes it's an overhaul. I just paid for 7 meetings with a nutritionistto see if I can get over this (I had been following Weight Watchers to a T). These sessions are costing me a mint too. If I don't see better results soon, I'll be more likely to give up. I worked incredibly hard for such meager results. I'm contemplating a starvation diet. I'm supposed to go to the gym today and I don't know how I'm gonna haul my butt over there. I'm feeling low...

I don't want to say this but...most nutritionist don't know ish. If your nutritionist is not reviewing your blood work they are most likely giving you generic information that won't help you.

You will have take this into your own hands and do some research on what will work for you.
